Powered by innovative Glu-L technology, Liberty Ultra delivers enhanced weed control, improved crop safety and greater flexibility, providing Australian growers with a reliable post-emergent solution for integrated weed management.
BASF ANZ head of agricultural solutions Parvana Wali says Liberty Ultra represents a major step forward in herbicide innovation.
“This advanced glufosinate formulation achieves robust weed control at lower application rates,” she says.
“This means handling, storage and transport requirements are reduced, helping growers manage weeds effectively, even under challenging conditions.”
Building on the proven performance of Liberty herbicide, Liberty Ultra incorporates two breakthrough technologies: the GLU-L technology uses only the highly active L-isomer of glufosinate for improved efficacy, while the Liberty Lock formulation enhances droplet adhesion and spread for more uniform coverage.
Together, these technologies set a new performance standard for glufosinate herbicides.
Tested extensively in the US and selected for Australian cropping conditions, Liberty Ultra has shown up to three times greater uptake of the active ingredient through the leaf surface1 compared with generic alternatives, to deliver superior control of key weeds.
Liberty Ultra also sets a new benchmark for crop safety in InVigor LibertyLink canola.
It is the only glufosinate registered for use from the cotyledon stage, allowing early application and providing additional crop safety when spraying newly emerging canola crops.
In addition, its one-day plant-back interval to cereals, oilseeds and pulses allows for flexible pre-plant knockdown applications.
Liberty Ultra has now been registered for use by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) and is available through authorised BASF distributors nationwide.
